Florida Man Charged With Calling Police to Say He Was Hungry

DELRAY BEACH, Fla. – Authorities say a Delray Beach man was arrested after calling 911 twice for a ride and saying he was hungry.

Police reports say 26-year-old Benjamin Dewer was charged early Wednesday with making false calls to 911.

The report says Dewer was apparently drunk when police found him sitting on a sidewalk. He asked police for a ride to a park and told them he was hungry.

When police refused, Dewer walked away and called 911 a second time for a ride.

Dewer is being held behind bars at the Palm Beach County Jail on a $1,000 bond.
